[Gameplay Guide] Temporary Unit Recruitment Guide

**Khelvan** · February 24, 2006, 06:16 PM

Ok, en lieu of an actual unit guide (having someone active to write one), I am uploading here a spreadsheet which Big John put together. This spreadsheet has each unit and what -should- be the recruitment capabilities in version 0.7.3. Some, obviously, are currently incorrect; check the version changelog I have posted before you say "Hey, I should be able to recruit unit X in province Y, but I can't!"

Feel free to ask why we made some of the choices we made, because I would welcome a dialogue regarding our recruitment choices. It can only add more depth to the system.

Cheers,

-khel

Yeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thank you Khelvan. No more tearing of the hair at what unit is good for what.

**Khelvan** · February 24, 2006, 06:20 PM

Well, this is actually only a guide to recruitment, not capabilities. Allow me to edit the thread title.

**Ahiga** · February 24, 2006, 06:23 PM

Ah, well that's just as good.

Hmm, it may just be that I don't often use Excel, but it seems that there are only 40 or so units listed on this sheet. Considering there are 100+ units, where did everyone else go?

**CaliforniaCelt** · February 24, 2006, 10:07 PM

Cycle through the faction list on the bottom left, I sat there with a blank stare for a minute as well until I realized it. :wink:

**Artannis Wolfrunner** · February 25, 2006, 04:38 PM

Ah! I obviously do not excel with Excel. Much thanks.

**A$$A$$IN** · February 25, 2006, 05:25 PM

Wow thats entirely confusing. But it will definately help when I cant figure out why I cant recruit something!

**Archaon** · February 27, 2006, 08:13 PM

DUH! Damn I feel uninformed.

Don't suppose there's any chance of getting a 0.8 version of this guide, is there? I feel kinda useless as an open beta tester since I have no idea what should be recruitable where and when in order to check and see if it in fact is. I work in government R&D, so I'm aware that the documentation is usually more work than the actual work, so if the answer's no guide for me, that's OK. I just would like to be more useful, that's all.

You should be able to open it with Open Office. However, keep in mind that this guide is for the 0.74 version of the mod, and there have been fundamental changes to recruitment since then.

is this (/going to be) updated?

**MarcusAureliusAntoninus** · May 17, 2007, 08:54 PM

Not in this form, no.

There were plans to release another recruitment guide program but I don't know what happened to that...

Check out this thread, Ark has made some recruitment zone maps for some units that help.

im assuming that "iberia" is the same as lusotannan. how come
Dosidataskeli (Vasci Armoured Shock Infantry) aren't there anywhere?

besides that, great guide.

This guide was made for the 0.7 build of EB, when the Iberia faction had not been replaced with the Lusotanians yet. Dosidataskeli, and many other units, hadn't been implemented at this point either, and the recruitment system itself was different too. I think most entries in the guide are still correct, but it hasn't been updated in a long time. For more up-to-date, although unfortunately not as complete, recruitment information, have a look at the unit card project.
